Plata Publishing Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids
Book SynopsisApril of 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the personal finance classic Rich Dad Poor Dad that still ranks as the #1 Personal Finance book of all time. And although 25 years have passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published, readers will find that very little in the book itself has changed — and for good reason. While so much in our world is changing a high speed, the lessons about money and the principles of Rich Dad Poor Dad haven’t changed. Today, as money continues to play a key role in our daily lives, the messages in Robert Kiyosaki’s international bestseller are more timely and more important than ever. Milestones While there is a milestone to commemorate — and a new section in the book on Why Milestones Are Important — preserving the integrity of the original content is testimony to the fact that this book has truly stood the test of time. The sidebars throughout the book (that were updated for the 20-year anniversary edition) have been updated again, but the core principles that parents and grandparents — those who embraced Robert’s story and messages 25 years ago — are sharing them with new generations who have found that its timeless wisdom and no-nonsense lessons can be applied to anyone’s life and their vision for a future that includes taking control of their finances. People of all cultures and countries celebrate milestones. We use them to measure time, mark progress, reflect on the lessons we’ve learned, and celebrate accomplishments… and they give meaning to our life’s journey. They are a way that we integrate past, present, and future… looking back at where we started, where we are today… and the promise of all that the future can hold. In the quarter century that has passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published — 25 years since April 8, 1997 — so many things in our world have changed. But the one thing that has not changed is the pressing need for and the power of financial education. Money is still a mainstay of our lives, like it or not, and technology has brought both speed and innovations to the world of money. In an ever-changing world, we can all still get smarter when it comes to money… and learn as much as we can to secure our future. Still the One… #1 Today Rich Dad Poor Dad consistently ranks among bestsellers around the world in the categories of Personal Finance, Parenting, and Investing, has been translated into 38 languages, and has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you. In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were challenged and criticized 25 ago, are more meaningful, relevant, and important today than ever. Rich Dad Poor Dad... • Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich • Challenges the belief that your house is an asset • Shows parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money • Defines once and for all an asset and a liability • Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success

It's a dream come true for me," to be able to direct and star and bring Coelho's book to the screen." LAURENCE FISHBURNE on the upcoming film adaptation of The Alchemist "One of my favourite books is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and I just believe that…I can create whatever I want to create. If I can put my head on it right, study it, learn the patterns…I feel very strongly that we are who we choose to be." WILL SMITH "When I'm on the set with young actors and sometimes you meet people in life who you feel they are a little confused and they want to be re-centered, there are two books that I always recommend. One of them is Siddhartha, and the other is The Alchemist. RUSSELL CROWE

Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.________________________________A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'A supremely practical and useful book.'

Mango Media Functional Training and Beyond: Building the
Book SynopsisTrain Like a Superhero"I recommend this book to all personal trainers, training geeks, and people who just want to learn about different training methods and philosophies.” ―JC Santana, author of Functional Training#1 Best Seller in Physical Education and CoachingBody and Brain Training Designed to Unlock Your Amazing Hidden PotentialChange your life. Many of us have forgotten how to move correctly. We live with muscular imbalances, constant pain, and low energy. Adam Sinicki is on a mission to change this. He is best known for his YouTube channel “The Bioneer”, where he provides expertise on functional training, brain training, productivity, flow states, and more.Be better than just functional. Currently, functional training is exercise as rehabilitation. It aims to restore normal, healthy strength and mobility using compound and multi-faceted movements. In Functional Training and Beyond, Adam reveals how to become “better than just functional.” We can improve our physical performance and our mental state. We can train to move better, think more clearly, feel energetic, and live more efficiently.Advanced way to train. Until now working out has had one of two goals─get bigger or get leaner. But why are those the only goals? What if there was a third, practical, healthy and exciting way to train our body and our mind? Learn how we can train our brains just like our bodies, and how to incorporate this into a comprehensive, well-rounded program.Discover: New ways to train body and mind Training for greater mobility, less pain, improved mood, and increased energy The fun of training with kettlebells, calisthenics, clubbells, street workouts, animal moves, handstands, rope climbs, isometrics, and more Fans of Overcoming Gravity, You Are Your Own Gym, The World’s Fittest Book, New Functional Training for Sports, or Calisthenics for Beginners―discover a new and better way to train both your body and mind in Functional Training and Beyond!Table of ContentsChapter 1: What is Functional Training and Why Does it Matter? Chapter Goal: To explain the concept of functional training, and to explain why the big 3 lifts are not sufficient for complete strength. • Who needs functional training (martial artists, athletes, and in my opinion: everyone else) • How our modern lifestyles are ruining our bodies • Skills vs attributes • Recent trends and developments in fitness (movement culture, old time strongmen, MMA, parkour) • Why training the body and mind together is logical Chapter 2: The Science of Hypertrophy and Building Strength Chapter Goal: This chapter outlines the basic science of building muscle to help lay the foundation for what is to follow. Readers will learn the basics of building muscle and power. • Metabolic stress, muscle damage, and mechanical tension • Progressive overload (and alternatives) • Time under tension and other factors influencing growth • Bodybuilding vs powerlifting (also “powerbuilding”) • Building explosive power (an explanation of muscle fiber types and rate of force development) • A list of effective strength-building exercises Chapter 3: Kettlebells and Alternative Methods for Building Strength Chapter Goal: This chapter will introduce lesser-known methods for developing truly transferrable strength, from old-time strongmen (and modern strongmen), to kettlebell training. Kettlebells help build strength thanks to their offset nature, and constantly changing angles of resistance. Similarly, old time lifts like the bent-press develop stronger obliques. This has huge carry-over for sports and everyday activities. • Old-time strongman lifts for training the missing muscles • Introducing the kettlebell (and clubbell/Indian clubs – with exercises) • Medicine balls, sandbags, battle ropes, and more • The missing link: grip strength (and pinky strength!) • How overcoming isometrics develop super-human strength (with explanation of muscle fiber recruitment) • Quasi isometrics • Hybrid exercises Chapter 4: Just Move: An Introduction to Movement Training Chapter Goal: This chapter will serve as an overview of the emerging movement culture, providing introductions to animal walks, training outdoors, and more. It will show you how to naturally increase range of motion, to eradicate stiffness, and regain child-like exuberance. • Get outdoors (why training outside is beneficial, an explanation of movements like MovNat) • Barefoot running and developing foot strength • Move like an animal (an introduction to animal walks) • Proprioception and balance • Why animals don’t warm up (pandiculation and “incidental training”) • Developing mobility Chapter 5: Handbalancing and Advanced Calisthenics Chapter Goal: This chapter is a natural progression from the last, explaining hand-balancing and gymnastics, along with movements such as gymnastic strength training. Straight arm strength is one example of a crucial aspect of strength that is overlooked by mainstream health and fitness. This can unlock amazing skills like planche and handstands, which will be explained here. • How to build muscle with bodyweight • An introduction to hand-balancing • Straight arm strength explained • Hollow body and core strength • Gymnastics rings, dip bars, parallettes, and other tools • Advanced calisthenics moves explained • Training for parkour • Training for martial arts Chapter 6: Maximizing Endurance Chapter Goal: This chapter will introduce concepts like HIIT, work capacity, steady state cardio, and more. Readers will learn how to increase fitness with long runs or short intense circuits. They’ll also learn how this translates to better performance in the gym, and how to go even further with advanced techniques like breath training. • How to increase fitness with steady state cardio • Introducing HIIT (it’s trendier and has many advantages, but doesn’t entirely replace LISS as we will see here) • Metabolic conditioning and resistance cardio • Work capacity and strength endurance • Advanced methods for increasing VO2 max (including lung training, threshold runs, breathing techniques etc.) Chapter 7: The Mind Muscle Connection Chapter Goal: This chapter will explain the intimate connection between the body and mind and why training them together makes a lot of sense. It will also discuss some specific strategies for improving mental performance, which can likewise enhance your training. • How we think with our bodies (this works in several ways, but I’m particularly excited to discuss embodied cognition – a fascinating and relatively new psychological theory). • How movement unlocks the learning potential of the brain (learning new movements is fantastic for brain plasticity) • Muscle control (how old-time strongmen and golden-era bodybuilders gained greater control over individual muscles and how this is beneficial for max strength) • Accelerate skill acquisition • Reflexes, working memory, and attention • Motivation, discipline, and mental toughness • Meditation for optimal performance Chapter 8: Recovery and Refueling Chapter Goal: Training on its own is not enough. Just as important is the rest and recovery phase, along with proper nutrition. This book won’t go into great depth regarding nutrition, but will provide some basics such as the importance of micronutrients, how to gain/lose weight, and advice on protein consumption. • Nutrition basics: weight loss, weight gain, and supporting your training • Why you aren’t losing/gaining weight • The importance of sleep and how to optimize it • Bulletproof: how to prevent injury • Avoiding overtraining and burnout • SuperFunctional supplement – what do you really need? • More lifestyle factors for optimum recovery Chapter 9: Programming and Overcoming the Interference Principle Chapter Goal: This book introduces lots of concepts and different training methods. The interference principle suggests that combining multiple training methodologies can result in diminishing returns. This chapter provides information on basic programming for any type of training, as well as explanations for the program that will be introduced in the final chapter. It also provides tips on how to set goals, overcome setbacks etc. • How to write a training program: cycles, frequency, and goals • Full body vs PPL vs Bro Splits (and a fourth option) • How to overcome the interference principle • Concurrent training • Dealing with setbacks and fitting training around your schedule. Chapter 10: Your Program for Complete Functional Fitness: The Protean System Chapter Goal: The book ends with a detailed training program that combines everything discussed in previous chapters. It also outlines a new strategy for combining isometric, explosive, and high-rep training in each routine that I call the “Protean System.” The program also incorporates exercises for cognitive performance. There will be a recap on diet, deload weeks, and mobility. • Conclusion and words of encouragement

Book SynopsisInspired by her son, who left for university with no cooking skills, Joy May wrote NOSH for Students a simple cookbook specifically for students. What was needed was an easily attainable taste of home, oh, and pictures with every recipe! Joy helps to take the chore out of cooking, giving students a taste of success and fun in the kitchen.Trade ReviewWhat Real Students Say... As a self confessed cookery dummy I found this book to be extremely useful. Its fun, easy to use, interesting and even my MUM uses it...a bargain price. This book was a present just before leaving for uni. I have now finished my 2nd year and its my bible! ...the recipes are all really easy and inexpensive. A beautifully illustrated book...It's easy to follow & you don't need tons of equipment - not even scales! This book is absolutely amazing. I started university not being able to cook and now I cook shepherd's pie, curry and full roast dinners just a year afterwards. This book has revolutionized my eating habits! A menu for a week and planning what to buy will revolutionize spending habits too. If your child is starting uni please buy them this book because I really do not know how I would have got through uni without it.;What Mums and Others Say... Beware! May reduce phone calls home...from what I can gather, this book has been in daily use in my daughter's new household for the last 6 weeks... she's almost stopped phoning up to say;How do I cook this? I sent my lad off to university with a variety of student cookery books alongside a slow cooker. The slow cooker remains unused as are the other books - apart from this one. He shares a house with 5 lads, they all use this book. My son never used to do any cooking, but now he cooks for himself every day! My daughter starts University in October so I got one for her too. I will definitely buy a few more as gifts for friends' sons and daughters - excellent value! --Amazon Reviews

Profile Books Ltd The Concise Laws of Human Nature
Book SynopsisThe concise edition of the 2019 WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS BOOK AWARD From the million-copy bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Concise Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defence.Trade ReviewPraise for Robert Greene: 'Machiavelli has a new rival, and Sun Tzu had better watch his back * New York Times *'Hollywood producers and rappers are following an unlikely but ruthless guru' * Sunday Times *'Teaches you how to cheat, dissemble, feign, fight and advance your cause in the modern world.'' * Independent on Sunday *

Penguin Books Ltd The Case Against Reality
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis book is pure, sunshine-yellow, stop-me-guys-if-I'm-being-crazy California deep-think ... thoughtful, stretching and occasionally brilliant. * The Sunday Times *Don Hoffman is widely regarded as one of the deepest and most original thinkers of his generation of cognitive scientists. His startling argument has implications for philosophy, science, and how we understand the world around us. Yet despite his powerful intellect and strong opinions, Hoffman is a genial writer with an unfailingly pleasant voice." -- Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor, Department of Psychology; Harvard University; Author, 'The Sense of Style'; and 'The Better Angels of Our Nature'In this masterpiece of logic, rationality, science, and mathematics, Donald Hoffman dismantles the local realism of Albert Einstein and the "astonishing hypothesis" of Francis Crick, the scientific giants of the century. Read this book carefully and you will forever change your understanding of reality, both that of the universe and your own self. -- Deepak ChopraHoffman's truly radical theory will force us to ponder reality in a completely different light. Handle with care. Your perception of the world around you is about to be dismantled! -- Chris Anderson, author of 'TED Talks'Think you know what's really out there? Read this breathtaking, whistle-stop tour of a book that illuminates all the profound weirdness masked by our experience and assumptions. -- David Eagleman, best-selling author of 'The Brain' and 'Incognito'Empirical research on the human brain has made breathtaking progress during the last three decades. What's missing, though, is an attempt to see the 'big picture' of the kind Don Hoffman has introduced in this book. And he does so with the wit, clarity and originality that characterizes all his work. -- VS Ramachandran MBBS. PhD, FRCP, DSc, UCSD and Salk Institute.A fresh view into who we truly are?one that transcends the perceptions that we accept as reality. Hoffman unapologetically takes us down a rabbit hole where we learn that all reality is virtual and that truth lies solely in you, the creator. -- Rudolph Tanzi, coauthor of 'Super Brain'Captivating and courageous ... anyone who reads this book will likely never look at the world the same way again. Hoffman challenges us to rethink some of the most basic foundations of neuroscience and physics, which could prove to be exactly what we need to make progress on the most difficult questions we face about the nature of reality. -- Annaka Harris, author of 'Conscious'
